  1. Second Conquest by

    Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms  

    31 Aug 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    The Second Targaryen Conquest of Westeros, otherwise known as the Conquest of 141 AC, is decidedly simple by the standards of wars or conquests, but has far more complicated origins that could be argued to stretch back as far as the First Conquest, but to avoid esoteric arguments I find it most practical to start with the year 106 AC.

    Or: Rhaenyra runs away to Dragonstone before she is named heir. She still becomes Queen, it just takes a little longer.

    01 Aug 2024

    Tags

    A brief account of the life of Prince Daemon Targaryen with a consideration of the four women he would take to wife.

  4. A Raging Storm (for the Queen of Dreams) by

    Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms  

    27 Jul 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    Dreamers have profound bonds with their dragons, ones that go beyond any others. Daenys did with Balerion, and so to does Helaena with Dreamfyre.

    Or: Helaena reacts differently after the Blood and Cheese incident.

    "It may well be that dragons somehow sense, and echo, the moods of their riders, for Dreamfyre came down out of the clouds like a raging storm that day..." - writings of Barth

  5. Laertes by

    Fandoms: House of the Dragon (TV), A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms  

    27 Jul 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    Daemon Targaryen is many things. An honorable man is not not among them. He'd learned that on the bleak beaches of Bloodstone. Honor is a fool's prize. Glory is of no use to the dead. And wars are entirely too messy to be relied on.

    An alternate version of part of s01e08 where Daemon and Rhaenyra only bring a young Prince Viserys to present to King Viserys and the question of the Driftmark succession happens later. Daemon has a second errand to attend to in the Red Keep.

    Strictly speaking, one cannot steal a dragon. And strictly speaking, Rhaenys isn't stealing.

    16 Jun 2024

    Tags
    Summary

    Not even the mightiest Dragonlords of Old Valyria would fly into thunderstorms unless they had no other choice. The Dance over Shipbreaker's bay goes differently. The war is over before it begins.

    Or: Daemon's sleeping around during his first marriage results in several bastards, one of whom decides to pull a Saruman (of sorts) on Aemond. Storm's End gets caught in the crossfire.
